Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Doesn't really seem sexist to me: the man has misunderstood the situation and thinks the woman is interested in him. The woman has misunderstood the situation and thinks the man is likely to be aggressive. It's kind of symmetrical in that way.
Except it's yet another comic that has been posted here that is about how women fear/must fear men.
Women do fear men; commenting on that isn't (automatically) sexist.
The comic isn't saying women should fear men because there's nothing to suggest the man is predatory.
